Republican Senate candidate Ken Buck sought to further explain his views on climate change Thursday as his opponent and others criticized him for trumpeting a Republican senator's view that global warming was a "hoax."

"I am not convinced that the science is settled at this point. I think before we go down a path that is really a huge change in government policy, we've got to make sure that we have good science," Buck said in an interview with the Coloradoan. "And then we've got to find a way to accomplish the goal with the least amount of burden to our economy."
